I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in private practice serving in Orlando, FL for the past 5 years. I attended Troy State University where my graduate studies focused on Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I believe mental wellness is a key component in building strong families and communities. I have worked with patients representing a wide array of cultural, socioeconomic, age, sex/gender and racial identifications. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults and teenagers who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or relationship difficulties. My therapeutic approach is Person Centered, drawing from Psychodynamic, Insight Oriented, Mindfulness Based - Cognitive Behavioral, and Whole Person Systems Perspectives. I place a strong focus on targeting negative thinking patterns and unhealthy behaviors. Together we will work as a team, building on your strengths as you work on improving your life and relationships to live a fuller, more satisfying life!
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Coaching

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Taaka Bennett. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve been speaking with Taaka for about a year now and while I have come such a long way in my journey and am very happy with where I am now with my mentally, I don’t plan on stopping therapy with her. When I schedule sessions, I look forward to them. Each session provides a safe space for me to get me thoughts out. Therapy has kind of become my secret weapon, it gives me peace of mind, happiness and it gives me all the tools I need to continue to make my mind a happy place. I’m a better person today and I couldn’t have done it without her.

Taaka has been a godsend in a rather difficult time for me in my life. It was so important for me to find a therapist who gets me and she does, black woman to black woman. We made some very clear goals and she helped me to build confidence about what I want from my life and to show up for it. Most of all she helps me continue to channel to best parts of me, and to realize that I have more control on my life than I thought I did. Our conversations always leave me with a sense of confidence and purpose about my goals and I am glad to continue working with her.

I have been working with Taaka on and off for about a year. She is amazing. She is great at helping me work through and understand where my issues are coming from and allows me to express myself. She has helped me through my divorce, helped me in my relationship with my children, and my self esteem and confidence.

Taaka is amazing. She has really helped break up my anxiety and the thoughts that perpetuate it. Her exercises that she sends me has been really helpful in between sessions.
